Abstract/Executive Summary
This study examines the influence of perceived teacher partiality on classroom interaction among high school students at Chiang Kai Shek College. Student engagement is shaped by how teachers manage fairness in grading practices, participation, disciplinary action, extracurricular opportunities, and personal relationships, making perceived partiality a critical factor in classroom dynamics. A quantitative correlational research design was employed, involving 266 respondents from Grades 9 to 12 selected through stratified random sampling with a 95% confidence level. Data were collected using a validated survey questionnaire and analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient to determine the relationship between perceived teacher partiality and classroom interaction. Results revealed that students generally perceive teachers’ actions as “Often” fair across all indicators, suggesting a relatively low level of perceived partiality. Despite this, statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between perceived teacher partiality and classroom interaction. This indicates that even subtle perceptions of bias can influence students’ emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional engagement. The findings highlight that fairness in teacher practices remains a crucial factor in sustaining active classroom interaction. When students perceive equitable treatment, they are more likely to participate, feel motivated, and build positive relationships within the classroom. Conversely, even minimal perceptions of partiality may affect trust and reduce engagement. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of maintaining consistent and impartial teaching practices to foster a more inclusive, supportive, and engaging learning environment for all students.
